Hi
Just recieved a brand new HD-H250LAN with 2.05 firmware.
I want to install NFS and have it available for other Linux boxes.
To do that I need telnet. Browsing the archives, it seems like I will have
to use one of the "un-official" firmware to get telnet.
Most of the articles talked about doing that when you are on 1.4x firmware.
Is it still the same for 2.05 firmware as well?

Download the OpenLink firmware from linkstationwiki.org, and follow the
instructions inside the archive.

Or if you want to replace the box with Debian, download Freelink from the
same site. Read the forum there to learn how to get it done.

Thanks for the reply. The wiki said that the openlink is always built on the
"latest" official release of the firmware and yet all the docs says that its
built on 1.4x or 1.5x. Looks like what if there are features between that
2.x that is currently running on the new ones, then you dont get the
features.

Does anyone have openlink compiled against 2.05, the latest firmware.

Once again, thanks for your comment.

Firmware for LS1 is always named like 1.x Firmware for LS2 is always named
like 2.x

So, depends on which LS version you got, you need to download the right one.

For your information, Buffalo has released new firmware not long ago, and
openlink has not been updated for some time. So you may find that openlink
is not built with the latest firmware.
